*[theprp.com] Rosetta and City Of Ships are plotting another European tour together. The trek is expected to kick off on June 22nd and run through to July 15th with dates and venues currently being booked.

*As a special Christmas gift from Dinosaur Pile-Up, here’s an old, old cover of an even older song. Here’s what Matt had to say about it:

“This is one of my favorite Beatles tracks, mainly because its fun. Sure the original version is sweets, its beautiful and fun, classic Beatles I guess - but it wasn’t heavy! Its not KICKING! I’d listen to it and be like “Aw I wish those drums were fucking slamming!” And originally its so ‘nice’ you know!? I wanted to show a little more of the other side of love in the cover that the original side didn’t have - the Heavy side! We played this live when were playing with the Pixies through Europe. Everyone thought it was ours and not the Beatles!! I was like “Holy Shit No!! John Lennon wrote this!!” I recorded this at my mums house.”
